I'm not settling for 5k because of sheer incompetence. If it was mechanical or something, yes. A broken tray table, yes. Assigning a flight crew who can't fly the plane? Incompetence.
You werent bumped. You flew on the flight number you were booked on 4 hours late. You cant redefine terms jut because you are mad. You're lucky to get 5K miles.
